This discussion clarifies TDS on rent for a proprietorship business. Previously, audit requirements meant TDS wasn't applicable. However, with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 1 crore in FY 2021-22, TDS on rent payments of £38,000 per month becomes applicable from FY 2022-23. The key point is that TDS must be deducted from the first month of the financial year once the threshold is crossed, not after exceeding the annual exemption limit.
